Lord Arthur Somerset

Lord Arthur Somerset

Major The Lord Henry Arthur George Somerset, DL (17 November 1851 – 26 May 1926 Hyères) was the third son of the 8th Duke of Beaufort and his wife, the former Lady Georgiana Curzon. He was head of the Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VII)'s stables and a Major in the Royal Horse Guards.

He was linked with the Cleveland Street scandal, wherein he was identified and named by several rentboys as a customer of their services. Lord Arthur fled to France to avoid prosecution in connection with the scandal. From there he traveled through Constantinople, Budapest, Vienna, and then back to France, where he died in 1926.citation |title=Sodom on the Thames: Sex, Love, And Scandal in Wilde Times |first=Morris B. |last=Kaplan |year=2005 |publisher=Cornell University Press |isbn=0801436788]
